I just got back from spending the last four days in the Grampians on a bouldering trip. I wanted to find out peoples opinions on the lower grade problems. I was a little bit confused when I tried to pull up on some of the problems that were rated V1/V2 and hardly managed to move my arse off the ground while some other V2 problems and even a couple of V3 problems I could complete quite easily. Obviously the problems aren't established by the one person so an amount of variance in grades is to be expected but I was still baffled at times.

I just want to find out what other people have thought after a day out in the andersens and other areas around mt.stapylton, hollow mountain, mt.zero etc...
